I know the P5 is 5 inches shorter than the sedan. I don't know if the wheelbases are different, which would determine whether the side skirts would fit.

No, no, I don't think any of the pieces will fit without modification.
Check out Corksport for some ideas on P5 kits but you could probably find them somewhere else cheaper.

the front and sides will fit. the back will be a waste. if you can get the "kit" without the rear bumper, you'll be fine. there are plenty of p5's with the WW kit on it. no mods needed. like stated, the rear bumper is too long for the p5.

Really? I was sure the grille openings and the headlights were slightly different.
I gotta check this out...

nope, the only difference between the p5 and the mp3/msp front bumper is the amber bumper markers on the p5. people swap them with no problems. as for sideskirts, the p5 and sedans have the same wheelbase. the only difference is in the rear quarters where the p5 is shorter by a little over 4".

omg, postert is like... the sexiest kit for the protege (imo). the bumper is to die for. roddimus, is it urethane or glass? i think i read somewhere that it's urethane, but since you're now a vendor, i figure you're the best to ask.

the kits are made of eurethane and the spoilrs from glass.....retail pricing isn't high at all..it's shipping. If I were to place an order for several pieces at once shipping price would be cut WAY down....

The worst part about this is that we have to have deffinate buyers who are a little flexible on their prices because exchange rates and number of pieces shipped affect everyones total cost.

Let's not jack this guys thread anymore. He was talking about WW stuff. We can do some more pricing and stuff in my other postert threads.
